| Question | Answer |
| What is the cell division process that creates reproductive cells? | Meiosis
|
What is the cell division process that repairs body cells? | Mitosis
| What does DNA stand for? | Dioxynucleic Acid
| How many chromosomes are in a human body cell? | 46
| How many chromosomes are in a human reproductive cell? | 23
| Offspring receive how much of their genotype from EACH parent? | 50% or 1/2
| If someone inherits the recessive version of a gene (allele) from EACH parent will the phenotype be the dominant version? Why or Why not? | No, they would have to inherit at least 1 dominant version from one of the parents.
| Write out an example of the following genotypes: Homozygous Dominant, Homozygous Recessive, Heterozygous Dominant | HH, hh Hh
| What is the difference between Incomplete Dominance and Codominance? | Incomplete dominance means the dominant traits are blended together; Codominance means that BOTH traits are expressed.
| What is the difference between a genotype and phenotype? | Genotype is the 2 letter code; phenotype is the description of the visible trait.
| What is an example of a trait that has multiple alleles? | AWV - blood
| What are some other traits that Mendel kept records of when he was experimenting with pea plants? | AWV
| What is Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment? | Genes are inherited on random basis; the inheritance of one trait does not influence that inheritance of another trait.
| Construct a Punnett Square problem for a trait of your choosing. Solve it and identify the parent genotype and phenotype, the possible offspring genotypes and phenotypes and the probabilities for each. | AWV
| Construct a Punnett Square problem for a complex trait that is a multi-gene trait of your choosing. (More than 2 letters represent the genotype for the trait.) Solve it and identify the parent genotype and phenotype, the possible offspring genotypes and phenotypes and the probabilities for each.You might have to research and think about this for a bit .... | AWV |
